Software Dev Tutor Drayton, QLD
The most important things a tutor can do for a student is to teach and help them to learn. The tutor should help the student develop their own skills by setting a good example. I have lots of patience when it comes to teaching. I never stop until the students got what the topic is all…

Inside Hodgson ValeTutoring Sessions

Content Covered

Year 8 student Ava focused on solving word problems involving rates and ratios, as well as practising division of fractions with whole numbers.

In Year 10, Liam revised Pythagoras' theorem and tackled area and perimeter word problems in basic circle geometry.

For senior secondary, Sam worked through financial maths topics such as annuities and compound interest, alongside introductory work on network theory to strengthen his understanding of connections between mathematical concepts.

Recent Challenges

Several students in Years 3–7 have not completed assigned homework, which meant less practice with foundational skills such as multiplication tables and geometry.

For example, one Year 8 student "had not done any of the homework assigned either," so time was spent catching up instead of moving forward.

In a Year 11 Maths Methods session, a student's working was described as disorganized—steps were often skipped or written messily, making it difficult to spot errors when revising.

Another senior student struggled to structure an assignment, unsure how to apply teacher feedback about mark allocation; confusion lingered after the lesson ended.

Recent Achievements

A tutor in Hodgson Vale noticed a Year 10 student who used to get distracted is now consistently working through maths problems without losing focus, even completing all his homework last session—something he hadn't managed before.

Meanwhile, a Year 12 chemistry student, after struggling with electrolysis questions for weeks, was able to sort through them independently and explain his reasoning out loud.

At the primary level, one student who used to rush her times tables now takes time to check each answer and has become much quicker at solving them.

What they say about our tutoring

Hi Erica, Thanks for the follow up email.  Currently I am offshore and will be back in Perth around the 19th. I am sure Alex is going well, however time will tell.  Louise and Myself are happy with Safire.

We have got off to a great start with Devina.  Aiden has really enjoyed the sessions so far and finds Devina explains everything extremely well, actually much better than his teacher at school.  We are making really good progress and even after such a short time Aiden has gained so much more confidence with his maths,  so many thanks for sending her our way.

Timothy is very happy with how things are going with Jerome.  Tim feels like he is learning and is comfortable with Jerome who I have found to be a very polite young man.  Tim has not had any tests or exams since he began tutoring, I'm sure we will see an improvement at that time.

Local Spots for Tutoring

If you'd prefer not to have lessons at home, tutoring can also take place at a local library or at your child's school (with permission), like Vale View State School.
